We built the service we wished existed.
JourneyŌM began with a simple frustration: finding a trusted, ethical guide should never feel like a gamble. So we did the part you can’t do alone, vetting guides rigorously and matching you with one we would trust ourselves.
Who we work with.
JourneyŌM is built for thoughtful, accomplished adults who want a guided, supported experience, not a quick fix. Most of the people we work with see themselves in one of three places.
The Intentional Seeker
Accomplished and self-aware, often a founder, executive, attorney, or physician who has done therapy or coaching and still senses something missing. You want to break through a plateau and reconnect with clarity and purpose, through a process you can trust.
The Midlife Reclaimer
In the middle of a meaningful transition, a career pivot, an empty nest, a shift in identity, and ready to reclaim a sense of self beyond your roles. You want genuine emotional healing and reconnection, held with discretion and care.
The Intentional Couple
Two capable partners who built something real and want to recover depth and connection, or move through a transition together. You want a shared experience that is prepared, supported, and integrated, never improvised.
Nico & Susan, in their own words.
Two minutes on why we started JourneyŌM, what we refuse to compromise on, and who this work is really for. No hype, no promises. Just how we think about doing this responsibly.
Read our safety principlesCatalysts of transformation, never sellers of an outcome.
Maybe you arrived here carrying a burnout that rest no longer touches, a sense of meaning gone quiet, the feeling of being stuck in a life that looks right from the outside, grief you have never fully set down, or a quiet distance from the people you love. You’ve likely done the therapy and the coaching, and still sense something deeper is calling.
You’re not looking for a thrill. You’re looking for safety, clarity, and someone who has done the vetting you can’t do yourself. So we built a concierge model around one belief: the right guide changes everything. We bridge ancient wisdom and modern care, we hold a high bar for ethics, and we follow up after your journey to hear how it went. We’ll tell you honestly if the timing is not right.
Five pillars, no exceptions.
Empathy
Understanding and embracing the unique journey of every seeker and guide, with compassion and without judgment.
Resilience
Supporting people through transformation, helping them discover inner strength and the capacity to endure real change.
Community
Building a trusted network of seekers and guides, united by a shared commitment to growth, healing, and reciprocity.
Balance
Promoting a harmonious integration of mind, body, and spirit, so well-being holds across the whole of the journey.
Integrity
Rigorous vetting, honest expectations, and a refusal to overpromise. Safety and ethics come before everything else.
Who you’ll be talking to.
Nico Simon
After a 25-year career in IT and his own hard road through complex PTSD, major depression, and panic attacks, Nico discovered the potential of psychedelic-assisted therapy in 2019. That experience became a calling. He brings a concierge background, including work on the American Express Platinum Concierge program, to the job of finding the right guide for each seeker.

Susan Simon
Susan’s path runs through movement and healing. She built and ran her own Pilates and yoga studio, guiding people one-on-one toward physical and emotional well-being. Witnessing Nico’s transformation, she saw how much the people around a seeker need support too, and made care for allies a cornerstone of JourneyŌM.
